Open it.

I can't.

Oh, sure you can.

I'm so nervous.

Let's just see what it says.

Believe it, I keep reading it over and
over again. Oh, this is the most

time for you, Colin. You're going to
meet bright young people from all over.

We're going to have to find a place for
you to stay.

They sent a list of rooming houses near
the college.

Hey, this says you have to be in Denver
next week.

What, soon?

Please arrive on the 14th to complete
matriculation.

Classes begin on the 17th.

A week from Friday.

Oh, my gosh, I'm not ready. Oh, don't
worry, we'll get you ready.

Come on, let's go have some supper.
Aren't you too excited to eat?

I'm going to class!

Can't quite grasp it.

She's actually leaving.

What's that rain so far?

It's not.

Is that her an hour ago?

You should go back to sleep.

She never has.

You hungry again?

I'm sorry

You can finish the coat and two dresses,
maybe three. By Friday, are you sure?

Well, I don't have any other work.

In fact, you're my first customer to
order a dress.

About time, too.

Well, I'm glad to be the first.

Once people see your work, you're all
plenty of business.

It's not going to be cheap, you know,
all your ordering.

Well, luckily her grandmother gave her a
generous gift.

Elizabeth.

There's a lady with style.

Here, here, here.

These are your size.

Oh, I like the ones that come up higher.
Well, that's all I got.

I guess I'll take them. Well, you could
buy some boots in Denver.

They have lovely shops there in the late
style.

I won't have time shopping.

Of course she won't. Yes, you will. You
don't spend all your time with your

books. But that's what you did. And I
regret it.

There's a good theater in Denver.

And concerts. And you'll want to spend
time with your friends having dinners.

Well, that's part of your education
also.

What if he wishes that I was going off
to college again?

I feel bad leaving you right now.

Well, don't you even give it a thought.

But with Katie so young?

Oh, we'll be fine.

I could wait till next year.

Colleen, it never seems to be the right
moment to leave.

There's always something pressing, some
good reason to put things off.

So what you have to do is just take a
deep breath and go.

That's all right.

I was just checking the dosage of Mr.
Ford.

The digitalis?

Is he coming in today?

Yeah. Well, we'll see how he's doing.

And just if necessary.

Are you going to be staying a full day?

Until about two.

I'd appreciate it if you'd take over for
me after that.

Certainly.

This morning.

If you have any other business to attend
to.

Oh, actually, I was going to clean the
instruments.

But you just did that the other day.

Well, I think they need it.

If you don't mind.

No, no, it's fine.

Dr. Quinn, Meg's feeling poorly.

She's real warm and her head's been
hurting. Could you take a look? Of

Meg, I'll have you sit over here.

Is this your baby?

Pretty.

Thank you.

Now, let's look into your heart.

Meg,

did you ever have chicken pox when you
were little?

I don't know.

No, she never has.

She has them now.

Oh, no.

Is it bad?

Oh, no, no. You'll be fine.

You just need to stay quiet and get lots
of rest and try not to scratch.

A warm bath with oatmeal will soothe the
itching.

Andrew, could you listen?

I was not thinking.

Take it easy. She's going to get the
chicken pox sometime.

But I'd rather it be when she's older
and stronger.

She might not get it anyway. It's only a
few minutes.

It's highly contagious.

This could happen anywhere.

She could get it at the store or at the
cafe.

I never know who's going to come into my
clinic with something serious.

Typhus, influenza.

I can't possibly have her in the room.

How about we move her upstairs to one of
the recovery rooms?

I've got to sleep this sweet little
girl.

How's Katie doing?

All right.

As you know, there's no way to tell yet.
The incubation period is two weeks.

Oh, I wouldn't worry.

Baby's her age, even younger.

She'll come through just fine.

Now Colleen's watching her at home.

until I can convert one of the recovery
rooms into a nursery.

I had a thought.

Have you considered trying one of those
prepared infant foods?

No. Well, you could keep her at home.
You wouldn't have to rush back to nurse.

Please.

Good morning, Lauren.

Please, take a seat.

Some of the most eminent doctors in
Boston recommend prepared infant food

women who can't produce breast milk.
Which is not the case here.

Well, they've had excellent results.

Are you talking about that Liebig's
food? I could order some for you. Thank

but my father believed very strongly
that breast milk was essential for all

babies.

In fact, he told all his patients to
avoid all varieties of so -called infant

foods.

How are you doing?

Morning, Sally.

Morning, Miss Dorothy.

Thank you.

I brought you some stew.

Oh.

Well, thank you.

I figured you could use it.

How are you all doing?

Good.

I bet you're tired.

No, not really.

Wow, it's a big change.

I mean, you don't get a night's rest.
It's a lot more work. You lose your

privacy.

Yeah.

And your wife's got a lot less time for
everybody else.

That is true.

Let me tell you something, sorry.

This is going to sound crazy, but
sometimes...

A father even finds himself feeling
jealous of the baby.

You're not the first man to feel that
way.

But there are certain things that only a
husband can provide.

After you were married... I know.

I mean, Michaela...

It meant a lot to her.

When a woman gives birth, her attention

shifts.

She's feeding the baby and her mind's
just fixed on that baby every hour of

day. So you just gotta help her a
little.

I didn't want to... press or... Of
course not. But you can quarter.

You do remember how to do that.

Well, that's it.

Just relax.

And don't hold him so tight.

Everybody takes a fall now and then.

Even Colleen. I told him that.

You just gotta get back on.

We'll take it slow until you get your
confidence back.

Never had it to begin with.

Well, just pretend then.

Walk him around by yourself.

Wait, wait, wait.

Haven't we had enough for today?

I mean, don't you have a lot of things
to do? You're leaving in a week.

That's all right.

Colleen, I...

I haven't had a chance to tell you how
happy I am for you.

It's admirable.

Women going to college and entering the
profession.

Thanks.

But I feel kind of strange.

I'm going to miss my family, my friends,
working with Dr. Mike,

and you.

We'll have a lot of opportunities to
work together.

In fact, why don't we go back over to
the clinic right now? Oh, no.

Not until you ride around by yourself.

All right.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I'd feel a lot
more comfortable if I had somebody up

here with me. Can't ride very far that
way.

I'll ride with you.

All right.

Whoa.

Come on, Becky.

You better behave.

Kayla.

Oh, what?

Time for supper?

Just about.

I made something.

What's this?

It's for the baby.

Some of the Indian women carry their
babies like this when they're cooking or

gathering wood.

And the babies don't cry.

Thank you. Let's see if she likes it.

Supper's ready. Good. I'm starving.

Excuse me. I've got a stomachache. You
do?

It's nothing, really. I just want to lie
down.

All right.

Well, this is wonderful, Kelly. I can
eat with two hands again.

It still looks good.

Not bad.

Good.

Evening, folks.

Sorry to disturb you.

Evening. Do you like to sit down?

Thank you kindly, but it's my boy.

He fell off the barn roof.

He's all right, but he's got some cuts.
Might need a few stitches.

I'll take it.

It shouldn't be too long.

I'll be back before Kenny's next
meeting.

I'm going to cut open your bandage and
take a look.

Oh, you're a brave young man, Sam.

There's a deep cut here from his cheek
to his ear.

I need a lot of stitching.

I'm going to use some of this to put you
to sleep.

And when you wake up, it'll all be over.

She likes that music.

Someday, when you get older, we'll get
you your own flute.

Then we can play duets.

You like having a little sister?

Yeah.

I'm glad I ain't the baby anymore.

I'm the big brother.

I'm going to use the finest

thread in the smallest needle.

Why's that?

Because it's the case I want to make
very small sutures.

It'll take more time, but there'll be a
chance. All right.

Look, here comes the bunny.

Hang on, Katie.

I'll be home real soon.

What time is it?

Ten past midnight.

Oh, dear. I should never have left her.

Left her.

I left the suit to the ear.

Can't we give her something?

Smoke for Markel.

Nope.

I feel so bad.

It's a library. There's nothing we can
do.

How's this? Should be comfortable?

Not a harm's way.

Let's see.

There you go, Katie.

Hi. Hi.

You're smiling.

Oh, she is.

Yeah, look.

You're right.

We'd better get going.

Preston's got a shipment of silver
coming in on the train.

Talk to you later.

You off that now?

Yes.

But what happens when I want to go
downstairs?

Well, you can leave the door open.

I'll be able to hear her.

What if you don't?

She could get caught in a blanket and
choke or something.

And not be able to cry.

Maybe somebody ought to stay with her.

Colleen's at the store fitting her new
coat and Brian's working with Dorothy.

I'll watch her.

You don't mind?

Just for a day.

Why not?

Can't help with the reservation anymore.

Trapping's no good. I gotta travel too
far to find anything.

I really don't feel like doing that
right now.

I understand.

I gotta find some other kind of work.

You will.

You're lucky.

Lucky? Your course is set.

Everything's clear.

Dolly, I'm not sure of that at all.

Sometimes what seems clear can turn very
cloudy.

Oh, I ain't never been this bad before.

Maybe breathe at night.

Well, the best cure for hay asthma is to
remove yourself from all vegetation.

How?

Go to the ocean or high in the mountain.

The ocean?

I can't just up and leave.

Well, the next best thing is stromonium.
Have you tried that?

You smoke dried leaves in a pipe or in
cigarette form.

Try this.

If that doesn't work, let me know.

Can I cover it?

Yes, thank you.

Forgive my temerity, Michaela.

I thought you might like to read this.

Baron von Liebig is a chemist.

After analyzing the composition of human
milk, he devised a preparation that can

be fed to infants.

And you... It's a combination of wheat
flour, malt flour, cow's milk, and

bicarbonate of potash to reduce the
acidity.

At least take a look.

In the interest of science.

You're doing so much better.

That's because I have you two young
ladies on either side of me.

Pretty soon you'll be galloping across
the meadow.

You've got to think how little Spring
City can do that.

I'd like to stay.

Dr. Mike may not say it, but she needs
you here.

Oh, don't worry.

I'm not leaving until they boot me out.

And you, Becky, what are your plans now
that you've finished school?

I ain't sure. She wants to get married.

Colleen, you have lots of children.

I think it's admirable.

You do?

But I thought you said you like to see
women go off to college.

Well, I admire women with talent and
ambition.

Your mother, for example.

She's an outstanding doctor. I've
learned a great deal from her.

But personally... Let's ride over to
that big tree.

You were saying?

Well, I might be a bit traditional in
this respect.

When a man comes home from his job, I
think he likes to find his wife there

a pleasant supper and his children all
around.

Come on, let's race.

Oh, I can't race.

All right, come on.

That's fast enough.

A boil, you say?

Can you get your father to put a hot
compress on it?

When you've been doing that, it just
gets bigger.

Oh, dear.

I don't know how I'm going to do all
this.

Why don't you go up to the boarding
house?

Speak to Dr. Cook.

I can't. He's out riding with Colleen.

It's all right.

Go home now.

I'll use some hot towel and a tincture
of iodine.

If he's so uncomfortable in the morning,
I'll ride out to your place.

True. Well, we'll have to have a new one
taken.

And you'll want this.

It's the best medical reference I've
found.

Don't you need it? I have others. I want
you to take this.

Is something the matter?

Are you a little bit nervous?

I understand.

I was the same way myself.

I kept wondering if I was prepared
enough, if I was going to be able to

It's not that.

I mean, I know I have to work hard.

What if I want to get married and have a
family?

Of course you'll want that. Most people
do.

Some men might not want their wives to
go off to a job.

Sully never objected. Sully's different.

Colleen, a man who doesn't respect your
dreams and your talents wouldn't be the

right partner for you.

You've wanted to study medicine for a
long time. You don't think you're giving

it all up.

No.

But I see how hard it is for you.

Yes, a challenge.

But women have always worked and raised
a family.

Well, look at Grace and her cafe.

And Dorothy has worked in a farm,
milking cows and breeding chickens while

raised four children, and now she has
the paper.

So you think there's other men who feel
like Sally? I'm certain of it.

Colleen, you can be a doctor and a wife
and a mother.

You can help others and raise your own
family. You can do it.

And you mustn't let anyone ever persuade
you that you can't.

She had a good feeling, I think so.

What's this?

I don't know. Is this what's the
occasion?

Well, you've been so busy lately.

It's been awful hectic.

I love you.

Open the bottle.

You didn't have to.

Thank you. It's beautiful.

I haven't thought about perfume in a
while.

Have I told you lately how beautiful you
are?

I haven't felt very beautiful lately.

Oh, you are.

I don't know what it is.

I'm just... I'm tired and

it's...

Nothing to be sorry about.

Oh, sorry.

I love you so much. I'm sorry.

Everything's going to be okay.

Go with it.

Alice, who is it?

Why didn't you send for me?

There was no time.

I saw a man die very rapidly from a
carbuncle, once a ton of gangrene. A

carbuncle? I thought this was a portal.

Thank goodness you're here. This is not
my line of work. I think I'll go sit

with Alice.

I think I was able to extirpate all the
affected tissue.

I had no idea of so much.

Good thing Alice brought him here.
Another few hours or so and we would

lost him for sure.

I think he's going to be all right.

He's woken up and his fever's down.

A very good sign.

Can I see him?

I'll take you up.

You didn't know.

I wasn't paying attention.

Alice didn't know herself.

Katie was tired.

And I didn't want to subject her to a
long ride. And I let that color my

judgment.

Andrew hadn't been here. But he was.

You're always telling me to do my best.

That's all that you can do.

Hey, Colleen. Dr. Mike.

Hey, Becky.

I can take her now.

Oh, that's all right. I'll go later.

Go where?

I was going to have a fitting for the
dresses.

Becky was going to watch Katie, but I
don't have to go.

No, please. I want you to go.

I'll take good care of her.

It's so comforting when all the research
and statistics lead to a clear

conclusion.

Which is not the case here. Dr.

Button says every mother ought to nurse
her child if she is fit to do so.

It is a noble and holy office to which
she is appointed by God.

Sounds pretty clear.

But Dr. Cutting says that cow's milk
mixed with water and sugar is an

substitute.

But Baron von Liebig disagrees. He says
that cow's milk is too acidic and that's

why he adds potash to his formula.

What do your instincts tell you?

Well, I know in my heart what's best for
Katie.

And I'm only considering infant food
because it's convenient for me.

Well, that must mean something, doesn't
it? What's good for the mother?

Well, they also say that emotion and
strain can affect your milk.

That if you're weak and tired, your milk
won't contain the nourishment your baby

needs.

I'm certainly tired.

Why does it have to be one or the other?

Why can't we stick to nursing and once
in a while an emergency will try the

Sound so simple What's wrong with that?

Why didn't I think of it?

How do you do I'm calling Cooper

You can actually wear the cape
separately.

Pleased to meet you.

I'm preparing to study medicine.

Yes, I know that's unusual.

You're going to knock their eyes out.

Thank you, Emma. I just love everything.

My pleasure.

I wish I was going with you.

Why don't you come?

You can apply for a scholarship next
term.

I don't know.

Why not?

Well, I don't have the grades that you
do.

Oh, that won't matter as long as you do
all the exams.

We can live in the same boarding house,
have rooms right next to each other.

I don't think so.

Oh, come on, Becky. It would be so much
fun.

I kind of feel like staying here.

I'm going to miss you.

Well, you'll have to come visit me.

I'll be coming home a lot.

I bet you won't.

You'll be making new friends and
learning all kinds of new things.

You won't be interested in the folks
back here.

That's not true.

You'll always be my best friend.

You think so?

I know so.

You gotta promise that you'll always be
my best friend and I'll always be yours.

No matter what.

Promise?

I had a good day.

Zoe, I'm so glad you're here.

What's wrong?

Katie.

I tried giving her some infant food,
just a small amount, and it disagreed

her. She spit it all up and started
crying.

I just got her settled down.

Is she going to be all right?

Yes, I think so.

Maybe we just try a different kind of
food.

Forget about the baby food.

Come and sit down.

I went blind.

Willfully blind. I just didn't want to
think about what would happen if a

patient sent for me at night and I had
to feed the baby.

I just went ahead with blind faith that
everything would work out.

Now Katie's suffering.

My patient's suffering.

I almost cost a man his life.

And you.

Don't worry about me.

I can't be the wife that I want to be.

Michaela, we haven't had that much time
yet. We've still got to get used to

things.

And I don't want to leave Katie.

Look at Colleen.

It seems like it was yesterday that I
was just quizzing her on her spelling

and I turn around and she's going off to
college.

What are you saying?

I'm saying...

that I'm thinking of turning my practice
off to Andrew.

No Katie today?

She's at home.

There's something I want to discuss with
you.

Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot to tell you.

Mrs. Darcy came by with Meg.

She's completely well.

I'm thinking of making a change.

Yes?

Well, I won't be coming in quite as
often. Just a few hours every day.

Could you be available the other times?

Well, of course.

Well, that's just this week, or... Well,
this week, yes, and then... Look at

this. My eyes swell with gut. My nose is
running like a river, and I keep

sneezing. Did you take the belladonna I
gave you yesterday?

I took that. I kept taking the leaves
like you told me just in case they

to work, but they didn't.

I'm worse.

We could try strychnine. We'd have to be
cautious.

I have something that'll help you.

What's that?

Stinging metals.

You brew them into a tea and drink it
every few hours.

It'll give you immediate relief.

Stinging metals?

That was something I learned from the
Cheyenne.

Are you using an Indian remedy?

Well, I use what's effective.

Well, I was skeptical when I first came
here, but I've used many of their herbs

on myself and my family, and they
worked.

Thanks. Try anything to help you
breathe.

Want to go for a ride?

Chippy!

Chippy!

Hey, cutie.

Are you feeling better?

Yeah, them Indian medals worked.

After two days, I can breathe again.

Well, that's wonderful.

Did you come all the way out here just
to tell me that?

I had to ride out in this direction.

I couldn't even ride before without
collapsing.

No breathing.

Some of them things you don't even think
about until you can't do it.

I appreciate it.

Well, I'm glad I was able to help you.

You're the only one that could.

Thank you, Hank.

I heard you ain't coming into work so
much.

Yes, that's true.

I was thinking if you want to bring her
with you to the clinic, I'll have my

girls look after her for you when things
are slow.

Well, that's very kind of you.

I'll keep that in mind.

Folks in town's gonna miss you.

Does

it

fit you?

It looks a little small.

Colleen? Hmm?

Do you want to take this dress?

Oh, sure.

Something the matter?

I had a stomachache again last night.

I couldn't sleep.

Maybe it's something you've been eating.

My stomach seems to hurt more and more
the closer it gets to Friday.

How can I leave when everything I love
is here?

If I go, it's going to change my whole
life.

I got a feeling I'll never be sitting
here on my bed again.

I know what you mean.

But I want to go so badly.

But you're frightened.

That's because you're stepping into the
unknown.

The unknown can also be a great
adventure.

You just have to follow your heart.

Trust.

Nothing's going to be the same.

You're right. Nothing will ever be the
same, Kelly.

Everything changes, but change can be
good.

I remember the first time you did this.

You too.

I was telling you about a problem I was
having.

And you picked up the brush.

I love you.

I love you too.

Very much.

What's this?

A prize.

Angel food cake. My favorite.

I baked it this afternoon.

Katie, help me stir.

You look happy, Ma.

I am happy.

I feel like I've been in a fog or
underwater and I couldn't see a foot in

of me.

Now it's clearing.

Looking after Katie agrees with you.

Yes.

So does practicing medicine.

I mean, it comes as naturally to me as
breathing.

And when I'm looking after Katie, I find
myself thinking about my patients and

how they're doing.

And when I'm at the clinic, I find
myself thinking about Katie.

What are you going to do?

Well, as you said, it doesn't have to be
one or the other.

I've been looking for an answer and
solution.

There is no perfect solution.

So I'm going to have to muddle through
one day at a time.

If you'll all help me.

Of course we'll help you.

Denver's a big place.

Ain't like it is here.

I know that.

There's lots of folks passing by.

And you don't know them, and they don't
know you.

Matthew, please don't worry.

If you need anything, if anything
happens, you wire me, and I'm gonna be

on the next train.

Thanks.

You're the best, big brother.

forget your promise.

I won't.

Don't you forget.

Good luck.

Thanks.

I'll be back.

Good time.

If you want to come back and visit,
we'll be waiting here for you.

Thanks, Sally.

A pen.

It's beautiful.

My father gave it to me when I went to
school.

He would have been proud to have seen
his granddaughter start in college.

Thank you.

Thank you for everything.

Don't work too hard.

Remember to buy yourself some booze.

Thank you.

Oh, she'll go back to sleep.

She never has before.

I had a little talk with her.

You did?

I told her her mother and her father
needed a little time to rest, too.

She understood that?

Mm -hmm.

In 1852, the first eight women graduated
from the Women's Medical College of

Pennsylvania, the only medical school in
the United States which would admit

them.

Today, there are over 100 ,000 women
physicians practicing medicine
